VIA PLE133T or VIA 694T/686B - which one is better for 1.2 ghz celeron?

[xpeter]

Can somebody tell me the difference between the chipsets VIA PLE133T and VIA 694T/686B? Which one is the newer?
I need it for a second PC and don't want to spend money on Intel chipsets - every cent counts.
Thanks.

PLE133T is essentially 693A minus the AGP slot plus integrated Trident BladeXP graphics (warning: useless 3D!) and Tualatin support. 694T evolved from 693A by adding 4x AGP and Tualatin compatibility.

The southbridge might be the same 686B, or the quite similar 8231 which'll potentially get you integrated LAN. You choose. For a basic it-works thing, PLE133T is much more cost effective (but if I were you, I'd choose SiS 630ET for that!), for a better performing machine use the 694T or SiS 635T for that matter.
